One of our personal favorites!
Stuffed
Avocado a' Laurie
(Serves two)
Ingredients:
1 medium sized avocado
1/4 large red pepper, or 1/2 medium, chopped
fine
3 large cauliflower florets, chopped fine
1/4 large, or 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled,
seeded and chopped fine
4 heaping tbs Vegenaise (Vegenaise
comes in soy based or grapeseed oil)
2 tsp stoneground spicy brown mustard
1 large green spicy olive, chopped fine
Vegetarian Pate*
Herb crackers (vegan, no dairy products
please!)
Organic jumbo green seedless raisins
Stuffing mixture:
Mix Vegenaise and mustard in a bowl. Stir in
the red pepper, cauliflower, cucumber and
olive. Stir until mixed well.
To
Serve:
Cut avocado in half, remove seed, peel and
lay on bed of red lettuce inside up (if not
available use green leaf, romaine or kale).
Spoon stuffing mixture into seed cavity of
avocado, allow some to overflow on to
lettuce. Top with parsley.
On
separate serving plate arrange crackers with
pate in center. Circle the pate with raisins
(they make great finger food and add a touch
of sweetness to the meal).
ENJOY!!!
Variations:
Add sunflower or pumpkin seeds to the
stuffing. Arrange sliced tomatoes,
orange, red or yellow peppers around the
avocado. Or add the raisins to the
stuffing mix instead of putting them on the
side.
